Vyse

• CRazorvinetrap

  EQUIP a nest of liquid metal. FIRE to launch. Upon landing, the nest becomes invisible. When ACTIVATED, it sprawls out into a large razorvine nest which slows and damages all players who move through it.

• QShearwall

  EQUIP filaments of liquid metal. FIRE to place a hidden wall trap. When an enemy crosses, an indestructible wall bursts from the ground behind them. The wall lasts for a brief time before dissipating.

• EArc Roseflash

  EQUIP an Arc Rose. Target a surface and FIRE to place a stealthed Arc Rose, or ALT FIRE to place the Arc Rose through it. REUSE to blind all players looking at it. This ability can be picked up to be REDEPLOYED.

• XSteel Gardendamage

  EQUIP a bramble of liquid metal. FIRE to send the metal erupting from you as a torrent of metal thorns, JAMMING enemy primary weapons after a brief windup.

Riot's notes from patch 1.01 to 13.06 change Vyse in 3 patches. The latest is patch 12.00, published 2026-01-06.

1. Patch 12.002026-01-06

   Steel Garden

   • Radius increased from26m→to28m
   Why, in Riot's words

   Vyse has been slightly underperforming after recent changes, so we're giving back some area to Steel Garden to compensate. This should make site takes and defensive holds more reliable.

2. Patch 11.082025-10-14

   Arc Rose

   • Arc Rose is now destructible after the flash windup starts rather than being invulnerable.
   • Flash duration decreased from2.25s→to2.0s

   Cooldown are slightly adjusted

   • After destruction, cooldown is increased from45s→to60s
   • Recalling the ability will now always incur a 20s cooldown

   Razorvine

   • Health decreased from40→to20

   Steel Garden

   • Initial windup increased from3.4s→to4.4s
   • Radius decreased from32.5m→to26m
   Why, in Riot's words

   Vyse has been great at stalling and punishing enemies that move recklessly through her space but countering her has been more difficult than intended. We're adjusting Shear and Arc Rose's counterplay rules to make them simpler and more consistent for enemies to perform.

   When enemy players are successfully flashed, the audio cue and voiceline alerting Vyse and her allies is removed

   Wall Trap trigger logic has been reworked to make it easier to bait out. The wall now spawns immediately when an enemy enters and then leaves its trigger zone. Enemies will also hear an audio cue, audible only to them, when they enter the trigger zone

3. Patch 10.062025-04-01

   • 10s→to6s, not 7s** (thanks to Reddit user, Symysteryy, for catching this!)
   • Triggered Wall Duration8s→to6s
   Why, in Riot's words

   While we’re happy that Vyse has found a place in the ecosystem since the buffs in patch 9.11 , we’ve found the durations on her abilities to be excessive in a world where her Razorvines are more threatening. We’re shortening the durations on her Razorvines and Shear so that Vyse will have to more actively capitalize rather than just relying on the baseline value of their stall.

What role is Vyse?

What does Vyse’s ultimate do?
